Unknown Grass- Can You Id it?

My apartment complex’s landscaping includes this grass, but I can’t identify it. Can you? This grass is found planted alongside cactus and succulents, in a mulched bed alongside a building. I suspect it is relatively drought tolerant, but it may also function as the plant that removes the excess moisture from the soil that the cactus and succulents don’t need. It’s also hard to tell if the brown patches on this grass are normal or a sign of sickness (disease, too much water, not enough water, etc).  Is it native or non-native to the Central Texas region?Knowing these facts for certain would make identifying this grass much easier, but for now it will be known as the unidentified grass.
